Ingredients:
-
3/4 cup (175 mL) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
Pinch salt
1/3 cup (75 mL) cold butter, cubed
1/4 cup (50 mL) cold whipping cream
Preparation:
In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs with a few larger pieces. Drizzle in cream, tossing with fork until dough clumps together.
